Maggie....Maggie! I have been terrible about documenting Maggie's development and milestones and most importantly all the funny things that she says. I used to write in her journal once a month. I don't think I've opened the jounal in about 6 months...So, this blog post is for Maggie - so I can remember 6 months from now what she's doing today.
Memories of Maggie at 2 years and 2 months (aka: 26 months):
- Loves to wear dresses. Maggie asks to wear a dress every day - no pants, overalls or shorts allowed. Whenever she sees someone she knows, she comments "See my pretty dress". One night she even demanded to sleep holding her purple dress.
- Refuses to wear bows or rubber bands. She complains that they are "hot"! She does like to wear any kind head band, though. Often right above the eyes.
- Is not a big fan of wearing a coat or sweater - which is sometimes a problem in Canada
- Loves trying on gloves, mittens, and hats
- Talks and talks - especially in the morning at 6 a.m. Maggie's definitely an early riser. She confuses her possessive pronouns a lot - "I want she hat", "Carly throwed she rock"...
- Loves pretending to be a mommy and making mike, carly or me be her baby - occasionally Mike gets to be the "bruva". She makes up her own version of "night night Maggie" to whoever she is putting to sleep.
- Always up for playing with dolls
- Also really enjoys having pretend tea parties with babies
- One of her favorite toys is a wet wipe
- "She not being nice to me" - Maggie often says this when watching t.v. and a villian appears (e.g., Misses Hanigan from Annie)
- Is not afraid to fall to the floor - screaming, crying, complaining when she doesn't get her way - regardless of location - grocery store, mall, school parking lot
- Loves playgrounds - especially enjoys climbing steps and sometimes even ladders
- Says "bum"
- Sings "Bonjour mes amies"
- Sings the entire song "Angels Watching Over Me"
- Is not afraid to break out into song in public places
- Asks if we are going on "Adventure Ride" - I think that means going out and about - but I'm not quite sure
- Has a crush on her preschool teacher Mr. Mathieu
- "You want to see my silly face?" is a favorite phrase of hers
- Best of all...Maggie still loves to snuggle - she frequently surprises us with a hug or kiss and loves to be hugged or even tickled in return.
